Humans use many actions as defense mechanisms, and anger is one of them. However, this defense mechanism did not work well for the former golfer, Paige Spiranac. During her professional golf days, she was stressed and a victim of sudden meltdowns.

Spiranac has a troubled childhood. She was homeschooled and directly encountered the real world in college. Her childhood experience with the gymnast community left her in trauma. And today, she rules the internet with over 11 million followers across all social media. Indeed, she has come a long way. However, the journey from being a feeble child to a golf queen was arduous.

However, she said about Horschel’s breakdown, “I got mad a lot.” Even her parents disliked her anger issues and warned her to calm down. If she was not going to take control of her emotions, it was better that she stopped playing. Talking about her parent’s feelings, she said, “My parents didn’t like when I would get angry, and they said it was just unbecoming, so if I ever showed that kind of emotion again, I probably shouldn’t be playing.”
